Passive Radar Sensing for Human Activity Recognition: A Survey.

Continuous and unobtrusive monitoring of daily human activities in homes can potentially improve the quality of life and prolong independent living for the elderly and people with chronic diseases by recognizing normal daily activities and detecting gradual changes in their conditions. However, existing human activity recognition (HAR) solutions employ wearable and video-based sensors, which either require dedicated devices to be carried by the user or raise privacy concerns. Radar sensors enable non-intrusive long-term monitoring, while they can exploit existing communication systems, e.
